FAQs

Is there any cost to me or the cause?

No, it’s completely free to use for you and the cause. You buy the same products at the same price. The only cost is to the retailer.

Sounds too good to be true – is there a catch?

There’s no catch, and to confirm, it won’t cost you a penny!! In fact, there’s £millions worth of retailer commission available every year to fund good causes across the UK. Amazingly, many causes are still unaware of this easy, free way to generate funds through everyday online shopping.

How it works?

GoRaise is a really easy way to fundraise for a cause you care about. Every time you shop online, retailers donate a percentage of what you spend to your chosen cause. There are over 3,000 retailers to choose from, such as Argos, John Lewis, Sainsburys and eBay. There are thousands of amazing retailers to choose from, such as Argos, eBay, John Lewis and Booking.com. You can see a full list of retailers here.

How do I find the cause I want to raise for?
